Hanoi strengthens legal access for citizens under two-tier local government model

6:11 PM, Thu July 31, 2025

Standing Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee, Le Hong Son, has signed Plan No. 214/KH-UBND dated July 31, 2025, to implement the Project on "Enhancing Legal Access for Citizens" across Hanoi in the context of adopting the two-tier local government model, which takes effect from July 1, 2025.

The plan aims to effectively carry out Project 977 in a timely and coordinated manner, contributing to the capital's development and supporting the nationwide effort to build a socialist rule-of-law state by the people and for the people. 

It seeks to improve public understanding of the law, foster a culture of legal compliance, and encourage citizens to use the law to exercise their rights and protect their legitimate interests. It also promotes a legal culture aligned with Hanoi's goal of shaping a refined and civil society.

Project 977 will be implemented citywide from July 2025 through 2030.

The plan focuses on four key solutions:

    Raising public awareness, encouraging personal responsibility, and cultivating habits of seeking, using, and complying with the law. 
    Strengthening the capacity and accountability of city departments, agencies, the Hanoi Fatherland Front, and commune-level authorities. 
    Promoting the role of the Fatherland Front, mass organizations, professional associations, and legal support service providers in helping citizens access legal information and services. 
    Investing in resources and information technology to support agencies and organizations in meeting public demand for legal access.

The Department of Justice has been assigned to lead the implementation of Project 977, oversee progress, and carry out regular monitoring and evaluations. It will also develop solutions to expand digital transformation and apply information technology in legal communication, legal aid, public education, and legal consulting. 

The department will work with other departments and unions to promote legal awareness among specific groups, including children and vulnerable populations.

The People's Committee has requested all relevant agencies to clearly define tasks, timelines, and responsibilities to ensure that the project is practical, focused, and results-driven. Leaders at each level must take full responsibility for implementation. Communication and legal education efforts must be tailored to specific audiences, with updated and engaging content and delivery methods.
